You know the score by now
Yeah, one of those big, fat, unthemed posts.
Atzmon update
Further to this: returning to the Guardian bookshop issue, CiFWatch reports that the Guardian has once again removed Atzmon from its on-line book stock list; Norm finds the Guardian to be making a proverbial mountain out of a. Here's an amusing Zionist account of Atzmon's pathetic appearance in San Francisco. Here's Dershowitz on the Friends Seminary and Atzmon, Meanwhile, Counterpunch continue to promote the antisemite, although most of his supporters these days are white supremacists, 9/11 truth nuts, Holocaust deniers and other oddballs (Cynthia McKinney, Gordon Duff, Kevin Barrett, Jay Knott, etc - no links to those sorts here). And what's with this big bushy mountain man beard Atzmon's grown for his "grassroots tour" of America?

Comments
Might I suggest another one?
The SU blog has a weird post with what looks like a bunch of fake quotes
http://www.socialistunity.com/voices-on-palestine/
And in the comments box you can see John Wight employ the fake Ben Gurion one:
"Zionist terror gangs were already at work by this point, preparing for a war that they were intent on waging regardless of the UN Partition Plan or not.
As Ben Gurion said in 1937: “We must expel the Arabs and take their places.” (David Ben Gurion, 1937, Ben Gurion and the Palestine Arabs, Oxford University Press, 1985).
..."
